Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the cocktail part of the tour?

A: Yes, participants must be 21 or older to enjoy the cocktails on the walking tour. However, younger guests can still enjoy the cooking class and the food samplings! It's a great opportunity to introduce kids to the culinary side of New Orleans.

Q: What should I wear for the cooking class and walking tour? Is it casual?

A: You can definitely keep it casual! Comfortable clothes are best since you’ll be cooking and walking around. Think breathable fabrics, especially if it’s hot outside. And don’t forget comfy shoes for the walking tour—you’ll be strolling through the French Quarter!

Q: What if it rains? Do they cancel the walking tour?

A: If the weather is really bad, they will reschedule or provide an alternate option. The cooking class is indoors, so that part won't be affected! Just keep an eye on the weather forecast and check with Gray Line New Orleans if you're unsure. They’re great at communicating about any changes.

Just did the New Orleans Cooking Class and Cocktail Tour—here's my take!

I just got back from the New Orleans Cooking Class and Cocktail Walking Tour, and it was AMAZING! The chef was super entertaining while teaching us how to make jambalaya and gumbo. I loved trying the food there and then heading out for the cocktail tour with our guide. The drinks were fantastic! I highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves food and fun experiences.

Thinking about this as a gift—any advice?

I'm looking to buy the cooking class and cocktail walking tour for my parents’ anniversary. They love cooking and New Orleans! I'm a bit worried about whether they’ll be able to keep up with the walking part or if there's enough time in between activities. Anyone have experience with this?
